Joanne Bozeman, Professor Emerita & Author

The Hormonal Seasons of the Voice: So-called "reproductive" hormonal variations can influence the singing voice over the lifespan, particularly in adolescence, the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and breastfeeding, and the menopause transition. Joanne will discuss how these changes take place, the spectrum of experience that singers report, and provide guidance for singers, teachers and conductors. 

"Zebras" in the Voice Studio: Singing with Hypermobility and POTS: The term medical "zebras" can refer to the invisible and often overlapping conditions of hypermobility and POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). Both of these diagnoses are being recognized more frequently within the voice community. Joanne will cover basic information about these conditions and suggest best practices for affected singers, their teachers and conductors.

Joanne will also be available for private consultations with individuals following her presentations.
